Norwood, ]rofessor of English at the Univer sity of South Cfolina, Published t byPrehdce-Hall, Inc., of New York City, is now off the press. The book has been put into prac tical application at the University and has received much favorable comment. Results show a very ap preciable growth in vocabulary of those students using it. W..C. McCall, director of the per sonnet bureau of the University, in commenting on the book, said: "Al-. though the testing program was not specifically designed to measure the affect that a change of instutional practice might have on vocabulary growth, and was started three years before the publication of "Concern ing Words," the cumulative data in the personnel bureau files are suf ficient to form the basis of a very reliable study of vocabulary growth changes.
